Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself.
Norman Wesley Brooks, Let Every Day Be Christmas

Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing.
- Isaac Watts

Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin mother and Child. Holy Infant, so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight; Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia! Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born!
Josef Mohr

Now light one thousand Christmas lights, On dark earth here tonight; One thousand, thousand also shine, To make the dark sky bright. He came to bring us love and light, To bring us peace on earth. So let your candles shine tonight, And sing with joy and mirth.

It is Christmas on the highway, In the thronging busy mart; But the dearest truest Christmas, Is the Christmas in the heart.


Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King; Peace on earth & mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled! Joyful, all ye nations rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With angelic hosts proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem!
- Charles Wesley

Ring Christmas bells, merrily ring, Tell all the world, Jesus is King, Loudly proclaim with one accord The happy tale, welcome the Lord.
